In short
From farm buildings and food plants to distribution sheds, we can install industrial doors in Dorset. Every job is surveyed first, priced in writing and finished with a tested, documented door that suits the way the opening is really used.

Options that matter on site
- Drives and controls. Motors sized to the door and controls matched to your traffic, from a key switch to induction loops.
- All door types. One installer for every common industrial door, from simple shutters to fire-rated and high-speed doors.
- Safety set-up. Each motorised door gets the safety devices its risk assessment calls for and is force-tested before use.
- Loading equipment. The door, leveller, shelter and impact protection are specified together so the whole bay works as one.
- Free survey. Opening, headroom, obstructions, fixings and power all measured before we quote.
Jobs we can carry out
- Specifying and fitting a complete goods-in bay with sectional door, hydraulic dock leveller, retractable shelter and bollards.
- Supplying a bottom-rolling sliding door for a wide opening where there is no headroom for a coiled or tracked door.
- Fitting sectional doors, a high-speed internal door and steel personnel doors to a new-build warehouse as one coordinated package.
Powered door rules that apply in Dorset
Dorset is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Keeping your site running during the work
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about industrial door installation
How soon could a new door be installed at our Dorset premises?
It depends mainly on the manufacturer's lead time for a made-to-measure door, which we confirm in the quote. Installation is then booked around your operations, and most single doors are fitted and commissioned in a day.
Who signs off a new powered door at our Dorset site?
When we assemble or motorise a door, we take on the manufacturer's role under machinery law: risk assessment, testing, conformity marking and the Declaration of Conformity. You then keep the door maintained as the employer or occupier.
Do you service and repair industrial doors across the South West?
Yes. We repair and maintain the doors we install and most other makes across the South West. Repair and service visits are chargeable, and a planned maintenance schedule can be set up once the new door is in.
